First you need to put a coin in the phone box You could also be specific and say "in the coin slot of the phone"..
Then you have to wait until it says "enter you number".
Next you have to enter the number that you want to call to a person.
Then Talk to him.
Finally, put phone handle receiver on in the place where you'd previously taken it from.
For the final step you could also have said "Finally, hang-up the receiver in the cradle (the part of the phone that holds the receiver).
Great job! You give VERY good instructions. They were perfectly clean and if I had never used a pay phone before I wouldn't have any problems making a call. Remember to use your articles though... "the" and "a" ok. :) Great work! Can anyone else give instructions on how to use a pay phone? Be really specific and descriptive!

First make sure you have coins before you use the phone.
Lift the receiver and wait for the dial tone (if you don't hear it, it means phone is not working. Say goodbye to that one and try another. Then you will see the instructions in the display that ask you to put a coin in the coin slot.
As soon as you put the coin in the coin slot, you will see 'Dial the number; in the display.
Dial the number you want to call. If you exceed 60 seconds, you will have to use one more coin before the countdown clicks 0 in the display; or the call will be disconnected.
Once you are done with the call, keepput the receiver (the thing you hold to your mouth and ear) in the cradle.
If you are lucky or the owner of the phone/phone dept. is unlucky, sometimes it happens when you puthang up the receiver down in the cradle, you may get your coin back in the coin outlet, despite you having made acall. This That is because of the due to a mechanical fault in the internal things of the phone.
If you are unlucky (!), again sometimes it happens the phone would swallow(eat) your coins without letting you to make any calls. Meaning means you neither can't make calls or you get your coin back.In case Ifthe number you are calling is not reachable or busy or whatever, you have to hang up put the receiver down and take the coin back from the coin outlet and follow the above procedure again, in order to try again.
